    Voyage of the Redeemed

    VOYAGE OF THE REDEEMED tells the story of Noah’s call to build the Ark, and the opposition he and his family endured in a world riddled with depravity. Interwoven in the historical facts of the tale is plenty of intrigue, treachery and romance. The story culminates with the Great Flood and how the family of eight miraculously survived it. Voyage of the Redeemed is Deborah McDermott’s first novel and a tribute to Sean, who encouraged her to write the story in the first place. ISBN 978-1-907040-60-3. Available from Melrose Books.

      And the Lion Roared No More

      AND THE LION ROARED NO MORE. “Many lions make up the pride of Babylon, buy only one has the authority to rule the empire. When he roars, you run to do his bidding.” This was the reputation of the man who proclaimed himself to be the king of kings, and a god no less. Little did Nebuchadnezzar realise just how much he would be impacted by the faith of four Hebrew captives and the Almighty God they served.
